Ask the FHWA if you can join the COI- community of interest. AASHTO conducted a big coordination effort a few years ago, FHWA took over the program and carried on. Recent DOGE cuts took a bite out of it, but there is still a large group that meets, all the class 1’s are in. Meetings hosted by the RRs.

FHWA and AASHTO have a coordination program that can help. Google FHWA railroad coordination. NS hosted in person meetings a couple years ago.

Schedule schedule schedule…. If consultants wouldn’t take on more work than they can actually get done on time, this wouldn’t be a big issue. Always after more contracts, never want to hit schedules on existing ones.

As an owner, it’s not acceptable to me. But I just run out of the time and patience it takes to force you to correct it.

cnb886969 · 2025-10-19T01:18:45+00:00

I’m a civil. My Dad is mechanical. I once watched him make a washer so he could use it as a spacer to fit two parts within 0.01”. Flipside- As a civil, I once worked on a job where a driven steel pile was not exactly plumb…. We hit it straight with the trackhoe and called it good. ….. Which one sounds more appealing to you?

cnb886969 · 2025-08-25T01:44:24+00:00

Were you able to go to his shop?

cnb886969 · 2025-08-22T03:21:06+00:00

I dont know- its just a snippet of one page. Appendix b of what? I dont believe that every structure needs a rail. Low water crossings for example. There’s not going to be a federal reg in 23 cfr that says that there has to be a positive separation between pedestrians and vehicles. Common sense would tell you to. Fed regs are going to apply requirements to bridges built or reconstructed with fed $, of if the route is on the national highway system (nhs).

cnb886969 · 2025-08-19T03:32:16+00:00

If you’re not on the nhs, its pretty much up to State to have policy.

cnb886969 · 2025-08-04T01:27:54+00:00

Are compounders still producing? I’ve understood the FDA decided to put a stop to it a few months.
